Mustard greens

[Guest guest]

O.K., I have some mustard greens that I need to find a recipe for. I

looked in the file, and I found a couple of recipes that I can 'get

away' with. It seems that a lot of the recipes are too different for

our first exposure to this type of greens. You see, none of us have

ever eaten them before. Only two of the six of us are vegetarian, so

if the recipe is too unusual they won't even give them a chance. Any

suggestions?

I like them raw on sandwiches instead of lettuce for a combo lettuce-

mustard flavor. I also like them raw, but sparingly, in salads. I'm

not much on cooked greens yet - it's a texture thing for me.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I " chick'nd " out and just ended up

putting them in minestrone soup.

I like baby chard raw too. I'm under the impression you have to cook

collard? So I haven't tried that one yet. I might maybe be able to

make myself eat a VERY slightly sauteed baby spinach since I've eaten

it in lasagna and under brown rice, both of which wilt it a bit.

 

As long as I'm eating some greenery raw, I'm not in any great hurry

to make myself learn to eat it cooked. And I LOVE raw carrot,

tolerate barely-stirfried carrot strips, and detest any more-cooked

carrot, both for texture and flavor-change reasons. But I do gobble

up whatever carrots the guinea pigs leave me. :-)
